Student Parliament meet Munira Wilson MP! Last week was UK Parliament Week which we celebrated in school. As part of this, our Student Parliament was visited by Munira Wilson MP. Munira spoke to the students about her work as an MP as well as what motivated her to go into politics. The students followed up with a range of questions for Munira about local and national issues including diversity, young people’s engagement in politics and conflict. The questions were really well thought out, and it was clear that students were genuinely interested in the topics they asked about. In her answers, Munira was able to engage our students in debate, especially around whether 16 year olds should have the vote, which split opinion. A big thank you to Munira and to the Student Parliament!
Jack Petchey Award Ceremony The Jack Petchey Awards Ceremony for last year’s winners of the event took place Monday Evening. Well done again to all those who received an award. It was a delight to see that Eleanor (Y8), Milly (Y11) and Zaina (Y12) were all in attendance alongside Ms O’Brien who received her Leader Award Grant which she has used for a new Samba Band!
